2 Kings 6:1-7 ▼

1 Some of the prophets said to Elisha, |Look, the place where we meet with you is too cramped for us.

2 Let's go to the Jordan. Each of us will get a log from there and we will build a meeting place for ourselves there.| He said, |Go.|

3 One of them said, |Please come along with your servants.| He replied, |All right, I'll come.|

4 So he went with them. When they arrived at the Jordan, they started cutting down trees.

5 As one of them was felling a log, the ax head dropped into the water. He shouted, |Oh no, my master! It was borrowed!|

6 The prophet asked, |Where did it drop in?| When he showed him the spot, Elisha cut off a branch, threw it in at that spot, and made the ax head float.

7 He said, |Lift it out.| So he reached out his hand and grabbed it.
